We have conflicting reports regarding the condition of Canadian Junior National Champion Kevin Lacombe, who is racing in Europe with the national team. According to the Giro di Basilicata website, Lacombe was in a crash in the first stage and broke his clavicle. However, his Équipe cycliste Volkswagen Trek team manager, Josée Robitaille, reports to us that he banged up his knee, but is otherwise fine and will be okay for the Worlds. A third report, via Brandon Crichton (who is also on the project), said nothing about Lacombe's knee, but confirmed no collarbone break and said that he needed stitches in his hand... Ahh, Italy - always an opera!

The Austrian U23 tt Champion went off course. Joe dropped to 3rd on GC behind Eric Murphy, and Hugh Moran. Peter moved down to 10th, Bruce moved up to 14th, with Fry and Atkins further down.

Stage 3, Scarborough circuit race.After 5 laps of 20x7, race was stopped due to too much traffic getting onto the course. This was a new circuit, and the police thought they could control the roads, not so. Stage was nullified.

Stage 4, 100km hilly circuit. Very hot.Emile Abraham soloed for 65 km to take the win. Joe Giuliano was constantly under attack by Aerospace, but they could not shake him. He finished 4th, and dropped to 4th overall. Peter and Bruce finished together, 12th and 13th. Peter stayed in 10th overall, Bruce moved up to 13th.
